Review Summary

L'Insolite - espace gourmand is appreciated for its convenient location within the Olympic stadium and near the metro station, offering a bright and pleasant atmosphere thanks to its large windows. While many customers enjoy the coffee, croissants, and sandwiches, there are mixed feelings regarding the consistency of the food quality, specifically regarding baked goods and tea preparation. Service experiences vary significantly, as some patrons highlight friendly and attentive staff, whereas others report instances of unprofessional behavior and poor customer service.

It's a cute place & conveniently located near the Biodome & planetarium, but all of the food is premade & not great.

Insolite is a charming, small, & cozy bistro conveniently located in the Olympic Stadium. They serve delicious sandwiches & excellent coffee, making it a great spot to relax or grab a quick bite. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!

Paninis were ok...one chicken one pork...shrimp poke bowl was ice cold & lacked any flavour. It's really this or the cafeteria in the Biodome unless you want to walk over a kilometer. It's a better choice than that from what we saw. Service was ok, but the whole place was staffed by one young woman...so a bit slow...not her fault, as she was alone.

Wonderful cafe located in the Olympic Stadium! I went to work there for a few hours. New management is very friendly. Definitely worth a visit, we need more cafes like this in the area. 🙌☕️

À part les douches qui font vraiment dur, c'est mon gym préféré. Ce n'est pas abordable, sauf que ça attire une clientèle qui prend l'entrainement à coeur & qui respecte le gym. Le rapport qualité-prix est là, surtout si vous exploitez tout ce qui est inclus dans l'abonnement. L'équipement est de qualité supérieure & il y en a pour tout le monde lors des heures plus achalandées. Par exemple, il y a 6 plateformes parfaites pour deadlifts & squats. Il y a aussi un nombre optimal de barres olympiques, de bancs & de machines à cardio (à voir si ce sera toujours le cas après l'incendie). On y circule facilement car tout est bien aménagé. Une pensée à ceux qui chialent encore sur les saunas & merci au personnel pour l'année que j'ai passé.

The seats at the pool for the events are awful. I'd go again, but overall indifferent to the place
